Directions

Cook Mode (Keep screen awake)

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil.
Sauté the onion and garlic.
Add the shrimp and the tomato pulp, and let it cook for a little bit, seasoning with salt and pepper.
Add the béchamel sauce, cream cheese, and cilantro, stirring well until creamy.
Transfer the mixture to a baking dish.
Sprinkle grated Parmesan on top and bake until golden on top (round 200°C / 400°F for 10–15 min, just until browned).

Recipe Tips

•

Ensure the shrimp are completely thawed and patted dry before cooking to avoid excess water in the sauce, which can dilute the flavors.

•

For a richer flavor, sauté the onions and garlic in the olive oil until they are caramelized before adding the shrimp. This adds depth to the overall dish.

•

Avoid overcooking the shrimp; they only need a few minutes in the pan until they turn pink and opaque. Overcooked shrimp can become tough and rubbery.
